Commenting on the development, Oeneo Bouchage CEO Dominique Tourneix said: "The distribution agreement with G3 is a huge step forward for DIAM - we look forward to a long and successful partnership with G3 and are firmly focused on continuing to grow market share and drive the closure industry forward."

"The addition of the DIAM closures to our portfolio of products and services is a testament to G3's focus on providing our customers with the latest in technological advances in closures. We are very proud to be associated with Oeneo Bouchage and their patented technical closures', says Robert Lubeck, President and CEO of G3 Enterprises.

The announcement follows recent investment by DIAM to increase the profile of the technical closure in the USA. The ongoing program is focused on driving the closure debate within the trade and consumer wine media, with key industry influencers and amongst leading retailers.
